Track Central - SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS/FIXES HERE for Devs | Forums

[morrillo]

I'm suggesting a couple of features:

1. Give track creators the ability to delete their own tracks. This comes in handy when an issue with a track slips by testing.

2. Give users the ability to load more tracks when they reach the bottom of the feed.

3. Have the Track Central feeds update more regularly. As it is, it seems to update only once in a 24 hour period.

Cheers Kal. 1- already on the list, but has pros and cons to it (which are on the list also). 2-also on the list, good idea. 3-not sure how often but will mention it.

Im not sure if any of the other builders on the different platforms feel the same, but I almost don't want to put anything up until there is some kind of interim feed to hold tracks between the new feed and highest rated of the week. If you look in that highest rated, there are some seriously poor tracks with 2-3000 downloads, and then there are some great ones which didn't make that feed, have had plenty of work put into them and have less than 100 because they didn't make the highest rated of the week.

I know there isn't anyway this can be assured, and I certainly don't make tracks for attention/ratings, however it is enfuriating to put a good amount of hours into a track only for it to disappear within 2 hours while there are 5 versions of impossible stairs in the weekly feed. A 48 hour feed or something like that would help this situation.

Requested 48hr feed, also suggested a 24hr probation period when users could withdraw/tweak tracks but this has pros and cons. Nothing between new and weekly rated is an oversight, the 48 hour feed should definitely return.

Good one emcee. An interim feed is a simple concept that everyone should be able to understand. Everyone will then know that everything in there is basically on probation and has the right to be taken down by the creator for however long the interim feed lasts. Its unreal how easy it is to miss a certain detail in a peice of work, and them IMMEDIATELY realize it when something is released. Players could even guage the public demand with this feed. If something does poorly, because it's crap, they might take it down, and tweak it some more and come back with something better.

Less mistakes and higher quality stuff? Yes please.

Thanks, and suggested. Pros and cons to giving creators ability to delete, mentioned on the list.

I dont see the need for this tbh when its right there niext to it on the right hand side, larger and easier to read. But thats just my opinion.

Because right now you have to go through and highlight each and every track to see the creators and ratings, it'd be nice if you could just quickly scan over the page and see which ones stand out to you quickly based on names you may recognise and/or a small ratings bar, then if you want to highlight a track to see a brief leaderboard, specific rating percentages, and medal times etc you can.

I've said it a thousand times, and I'll say it again; stiffen the front suspension. It's absured that with such high speeds and huge falls you have even remotely realistic trials suspension. But I know... It would kill the leaderoards, so just like evo, it'll never be fixed.

And a few tracks are way too dark. Can't see rider/bike/track. Don't know any of the names, but I'm sure you can figure it out.

I am 100% against creators deleting tracks. If I spend hours getting a good time on your track and the next day it's gone, I will be a sad panda.

If an issue slips by when testing, well too bad. There is no such thing as a "perfect track"...You live and learn. I don't want to see the same track uploaded 15 different times with minor changes...

Hit the nail on the head there: you cannot assume people will be sensible on TC, there will be too many who will not be. Shame for the few who would use this power sensibly, but I am also against powers of deletion.

other than what has already been added i only really have one thing to add. it has been mentioned but not added.

please make the highest rated feeds update continuously like in trials evolution. mainly because whoever gets in there early gets a 24 hour period of loads of ratings and downloads leaving the next load of tracks to go unnoticed because most people just go on highest rated this week feeds and give them all the love, instead of checking out new tracks to get them in to the weekly feed.. this feels like a massive downgrade for me, and has stopped me wanting to share another track untill its fixed. cheers.

So if you share a track in the last hours it almost has no chance and will just be forgotten even if it gets in the highest rated feed? Who even came up with this? This should defenitly be added to the list!

Already got it thanks, hidden away at the end of section 6 I agree 100% with your point here, builders who spend countless hours making great creations for us all deserve to have a Track Central that will show off their creations and allow us all to enjoy them...this is not yet the case on the new TC.

I feel your pain Smeg. For those of us who got hundreds of hours out of TC on Evo, this is a really big deal what they have done to TC on Fusion...deflated is an understatement.
For me, one of the biggest issues is linking TC to Ubi servers, what happens when they get turned off? I have a fabulous collection of Evo tracks I can play forever (assuming my USB sticks/HDD don't fail). Evo was a huge piece of my life I have preserved, just like my N64 collection, megadrive, zx spectrum LOL. Fusion looks like being a passing ship in the night.

Gutted with what they did with Frontier, now gutted a week later.

If you watch the Youtube then you may have heard Anba talking about a series of free "feature updates!" It is kinda funny actually. The game launched and it is still in beta. The folks at Rockstar did this with GTA5. Oh and Microsoft with vista. Just tell the truth people if you cant make a deadline then man up!!!!!!!!!

However that being said I cant see Redlynx doing anything but brilliance. The new fmx is insane, the new base world is far more creative and we have an atv

Thanks Ubisoft and Redlynx. I think fusion was the right step forward.

[Tripotix]

yes exactly that. haha..
